habitat loss-when a rainforest is made into cattle pasture, a meadow made into a small parking lot, a swamp draining for house etc.
habitat fragmentation-a road cuts across wildeness areas, and as building projects expand into new areas, many habitats are becoming virtual islands.
biotic issues- some organisms that need large areas to gather food. large predators cannot obtain enough food if they are restricted to a small area.
Abiotic issues- another problem with habitat fragmentation is that it can change the climate of the area. a tropical rain forest is canopy and moist, now suppose loggers came in and cut everything down, except for a plot of land. the once moist and shady area is now exposed to sunlight and winds and the area dries out.

What is being done to help quokkas?
The quokka is protected under several conservation acts: The Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WA) The Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth) The National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity 1996 (Commonwealth) Australia also signed an international biodiversity agreement, known as the Montreal Process, in 1995 to protect quokkas. While activities such as changed fire regimes, logging and the prevalence of feral cats and foxes on the mainland continue to threaten colonies of quokkas in southwest Western Australia, Rottnest Island remains predator-free. Strict regulations ensure that anything which could threaten the quokka is kept off the island.
